Our overall experience was excellent. The food, sashimi, was fresh and they had a nice variety. Also, the presentation was excellent.

Excellent sushi, extremely fresh and well presented. Be sure to ask for raw wasabi. My group had a great experience and look forward to returning.

Came back to this great sushi spot for a dinner with friends. While two of us arrived early, the staff were kind to let us sit at our reserved table (downstairs.) The waitress throughout the whole night was attentive, ensured any questions were answered, our waters were never low, and the food was served in a timely fashion throughout our time there. The karaage chicken was tasty, as well as the rollsL Super Dragon roll and Vertigo.

As for me, this is not only the best Japanese food restaurant in San Diego, it might be the best Japanese food on the entire American continent 😅. The fish is always superb. The sauces are never over-empowering. The creativity of the chefs is refreshing (Uni Toast is the top of creation!). And I also love the authentic vibe of this place. Been many times and coming back many more! )

If you're looking for an amazing sushi experience, you absolutely need to check out Azuki Sushi Lounge! The atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming, and it's a gem of a location. Sure, finding parking can be a bit of a challenge, but trust me, it's totally worth it! The sushi is incredible, and every bite takes me back to my days living in Japan. The service was top-notch, and I had such an engaging conversation at the bar! Plus, I even got to chat in Japanese with the talented sushi chef who crafted our meal. This place truly captures the essence of authentic Japanese dining!

We were seated outside, so cars and buses were passing in front of me. The fish was fabulous.
Ana
We love azuki! Sitting at the sushi bar creates such an intimate and fun experience. 10/10 date night spot!!
Shari
Great food and very attentive service, but the upstairs area was very noisy. I would go again and sit downstairs or outside.
Jonathan
Been looking for a new spot for date night since full moon shut down. This was exactly it. Great envireoment and fantastic options. It was fun. Definitely coming back again.
Saba
great service, sat at the bar and the sushi chefs paid attention to our interests and tried to optimize on those... that level of attention to detail and care even though me and my friend were deep in conversation with each other (childhood friends catching up after a while with big life events thus not paying much mind to our environment or interacting with the sushi chefs) felt so genuine rather than transactional
The sushi is 10/10 here. And the ambience is amazing, but the last two times I've dined here the service felt rushed. Like she was trying to clear the table for the next reservation. It took away from the dining experience.
Patricia
VERY good overall. Service and food were excellent. Only issue I had was that a family with young children (both under 5 for sure) sat behind me - very noisy and caused a disturbance (dropped dishes, loud iPads, crying, etc).

Some of the best sushi I've ever had. The service was great and I would try to order as much toro as possible and skip the Kobe roll

The male servers all had this awful, strong cologne on. All of them. It was overpowering anytime they walked by. Made me lose my appetite. Unfortunate. Cute place. Good sushi.

Awesome experience. Sat outside in the shade on a Saturday night. It was so busy inside so it's nice if you can get a table outside. Food is excellent and overall good value for the freshness and unique experience. Not Michelin but definitely unique and exclusive. Certainly above average sushi joint. Overall excellent service ambience and food. My only suggestion would be to clean the menus... kinda dirty and spills on the drink menus.
